Severn tennis upsets the 6-time defending MIAA champs Gilman

Here’s a roundup of high school varsity action around Anne Arundel County on Thursday, April 15:

TENNIS

Severn 3, Gilman 2: The Admirals (7-0 overall, 3-0 MIAA A) won three of five matches and handed the Greyhounds, the six-time defending MIAA A Conference champions, their first loss of the season.

Severn, which won the MIAA B Conference in its most recent season in 2019, is competing in the top conference for the first time. Matt McNair, who entered the day undefeated, clinched the victory with a 6-1, 7-5 win against Gilman’s Andrew Hannan.

“It’s a huge milestone for the Severn tennis program,” coach Cathy Officer said. “We knew we were going to have a good squad this year, and after not competing last year … I think people weren’t sure how good we were going to be. I knew we were going to be very strong.”

Nate Krall won at No. 3 singles, beating Andrew Birincherhoff 6-4, 6-1, and the No. 1 doubles team of Michael Hesford and Aiden Gilroy took down Jai Kukregor and Arvin Elanquvan 6-2, 6-3. Ben Cordish (No. 2 singles) and Johnannes Qians and Luca Pavolvich (No. 2 doubles) won for the Greyhounds.

“They knew Gilman was the team to beat,” Officer said. “We knew this was out biggest test and taking them down today was huge.”
